Heat Water More Efficiently and Save with IDT Energy

It takes a lot of energy to get the hot water you need for all your household needs, probably more than you think. For most people about 12% of the money they spend on powering their home is used to heat water, which is typically the third largest household energy expense. It therefore is a smart place to start when looking for places to make cuts in their budget for utilities.

There are basically four strategies to consider when planning to reduce your water heating bills. Those strategies are:

1. Reduce the amount of hot water you use.
2. Lower the temperature on the thermostat of your hot water heater.
3. Efficiently heat and retain the heat by properly insulating your water heater.
4. Purchase a new water heater which heats more efficiently.
